Noche Buena

Here is a little something dedicated to all mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters who need to work on a Christmas Day.

For those who do not know what Noche Buena is, it is the meal that Filipinos eat when the clock strikes 12 midnight on December 25.  It is a meal shared by families and loved ones to celebrate Christmas Day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

 

What makes a merry Christmas

I am excited to receive my 13th month pay. I'm thinking of what gifts I will buy. Then awhile ago I was coming down the escalator when I saw people who looks worse off than me. They were a group of friends and they were talking, laughing, just having fun. I almost cried because I felt humbled. It's the season of love and I was thinking of money. I almost forgot that Christmas is not merry because of my 13th month pay. It's merry because I have people who makes me laugh and loves me... and I am spending my Christmas with them.

Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O' Connor

I saw this video of Bo Bruce of The Voice UK singing Nothing Compares To You.  Then I saw Sinead O' Connor and I felt nostalgic.  So here is the video I found in YouTube from BBC.  Enjoy!

Lyrics:

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,

Love is...

IR...if you find someone you like stake your claim.

Game theory...kung may guilty sa inyo, siya yun.

A school...you fail, you learn, you graduate.

Psychology...think.

Diseconomies of scale...the more you invest, the more costly it is.

Weeds...it makes you high.

A Street...it takes you places.

A number...call me maybe.

Two tall mocha frappucino non-fat twice blended and no whip cream...it's better when shared.  Here's hoping for another crazy fx ride :)

A qoute about the heart and mind

Ang puso parang utak lang din minsan.  Kapag walang laman ang utak, wala kang masasagot sa test.  Kapag wala kang nararamdaman sa puso mo, 'di mo masasabing "i love you".  Kapag pinilit mong sumagot kahit walang laman ang utak o puso mo, isa lang ang resulta:  wrong answer.

Huwag maging isang malaking ekis.

Did Mother Hen Die While Hugging Her Baby?

I don't know... but every time I eat a meal with both chicken and egg in it, I can't stop thinking whether they died together.  I kept on imagining the mother hen in the coop and hugging her baby eggs with that scared look in her eyes trying to keep safe the eggs from the human who will harvest the eggs for breakfast.  And the mother hen is begging "No! Please don't take my babies!"  But then the human will get both the mother and the baby, kill them and sell them.

I know it's weird.  And if I had a choice, I wouldn't eat another meal like that because every time I chew, I also like to puke and cry.
